How to open the remote of Klipsch R-4B soundbar to install battery

There could be several reasons why your soundbar is unresponsive. It could be an issue with the remote, the device itself, or the power source. Here are some steps you can try:

Check the batteries in the remote to ensure they are working properly.

Check the connections between the soundbar and the TV to make sure they are secure.

Try unplugging the soundbar and plugging it back in to see if that resolves the issue.

If the problem persists, you may want to try a different power outlet to see if that makes a difference.

Klipsch is not forthcoming with internal diagrams. I have worked on / repaired some of them. They have components that are under rated for the application and fail. You will need to have it serviced if it pairs and you dont have sound.

possible the batteries are no good

Great product, horrible instructions that focused on every language known to man rather than clear steps. Hope this helps....for the JAMO TORSTEN 2 WAY SOUNDBAR W/ WIRELESS 10" SUB 360 Series, as well as other Klipsch soundbars.

If the SoundBar is in STANDBY mode (solid RED status light), push the <SOURCE> button on the SoundBar until the status light is solid GREEN.

STEP ONE (Place the unit in learning mode): With the status light showing solid GREEN, press and hold the <SOURCE> and <MUTE> buttons on the front of the SoundBar at the same time (approximately 3 seconds) until the status light flashes RED and GREEN.

STEP TWO (Select the function to learn): Press the <MUTE> button once on the SoundBar (the status light changes to solid ORANGE).

STEP THREE (Learn the function): Hold your remote control within one foot and pointed at the front of the SoundBar. Slowly press the <MUTE> button on your remote control four times. On the first three presses, the status indicator light will flicker ORANGE with each press. If the unit has successfully learned the function, on the fourth press of the button, the light will flash GREEN several times and then turn to solid GREEN.

To program the remaining functions, simply repeat all steps, substituting <MUTE> with the new function and button presses (VOLUME UP, and VOLUME DOWN) on steps TWO and THREE.

My soundbar won't power up. So I pull the battery out of remote, press a few buttons, put the battery back in and all of a sudden the device can be powered up and controlled. Until next time it stops responding. I replaced that original battery with a new one but the problem still persists.

Hi, you will need to access the operating manual for your directv remote. It will have codes in the remote. but most likely it will not work your soundbar as most Directv remotes do not have codes for them, and do not support them. You are stuck using the soundbar remote for your soundbar. The only option you can do is to purchase a learning remote from the store that can program to your directv box and your TV, and you can learn the volume keys to your Maxell sound bar.

Hi there, use your pre-outs, you shuld have pre-outs for all channels, I think the soundbar is supposed to create its own surround effect so I would connect it to the front two channels
